  • The Spirituality of Andrew Murray Jr. (1828-1917). a Theological-Critical Assessment
    THE SPIRITUALITY OF ANDREW MURRAY JR. (1828-1917). A THEOLOGICAL-CRITICAL ASSESSMENT HEE-YOUNG LEE THESIS PRESENTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (THEOLOGY) PROMOTER: PROF. DR. R.M. BRITZ DEPARTMENT OF ECCLESIOLOGY FACULTY OF THEOLOGY UNIVERSITY OF THE FREE STATE NOVEMBER 2006 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Hallelujah! Now this study is complete. A lot of time and effort was put into the work before it could be finished. Prayer, kindness, intellectual supervision and all kinds of support from my family, teachers, pastors, and colleagues are an integral part of this thesis. Without any one of them, this thesis could not have been produced. To begin with I want to give many thanks to God who led me to do this work and to finish it on time. Although there were various difficulties during the study, I was able to overcome those difficulties and to proceed with my studies by the grace of God. I confess that this work is nothing but a result of His lavish grace upon an unworthy sinner. I am deeply grateful to my supervisor, Professor Dr. Rudolph M. Britz who has sincerely and patiently promoted me up to now. His kind, intellectual and detailed supervision, which can be summarised as many hours of patient guidance, editorial scrutiny, and caring encouragement from beginning to end, went beyond what was simply required and provided the best form of guidance in my efforts. His precious advice; “Do not study ideologically. Let primary sources tell and let them guide your study!” was to be a valuable motto, especially considering my goal of being a church- historian.

  • Bridgeton Association for Religious and Intellectual Improvement
    Bridgeton Association for Religious and Intellectual Improvement Overview Bridgeton is an area to the east of Glasgow’s city centre. (For more information about this area, see Gordon Adams’s chapter, [Bridgeton & Dalmarnock],Historical ‘ Background‘, on the East Glasgow History website.) According to the evidence given in 1836 to the Commissioners of Religious Instruction by Reverend John Edwards, Minister of the Relief Congregation, Edwards’ church was the only one in the village, and his congregation was comprised chiefly of the poor and the working classes. More specifically, he lists them as being ‘[e]very species of handicraftsman, weavers, cotton spinners, masons, wrights, and shopkeepers’. At that time, the Association was a collective of 10 Sabbath Schools in the area that were supported by voluntary subscription from the villagers. In addition to a library, there was also a charity reading school. The Association’s listing in the 1870 to 1871 Glasgow Post Office directory suggests that their original aims were still being carried out: ‘The principal object of the Assocation is the moral and religious improvement of the population of Bridgeton by the circulation of the Scriptures; the delivery of lectures; the establishment of Sabbath schools; the support of week-day and evening schools; and such other measures as appear best calculated to promote those ends. Institution Buildings, Bridgeton Public School, 96 Main Street, Bridgeton.’ (‘Bridgeton Association for Religious and Intellectual Improvement’, ‘Religious and Moral Societies’, Post Office Glasgow Directory for 1870-1871… (Glasgow: William Mackenzie, 1870), p. 81) Date of Existence 1824-?

  • Minister's Letter
    1 The Rev Jan Mathieson on her recent visit to Nepal, hands over a cheque for the community people below. From the picture below it looks just like you have described to us during recent services. 2 FROM THE MANSE……. 125 Greenwood Road Clarkston Glasgow G76 7LL 0141 579 9997 [email protected] Dear Friends, I expect that most of you will have played a game of I Spy.... either as children or with your own children or grandchildren. It is an age-old way of helping to pass the time on a long journey and even, sometimes, brings to our attention things we might not otherwise have noticed. On my recent visit to Nepal, where I had the privilege of representing the Church of Scotland at the General Assembly of the United Mission to Nepal in Kathmandu, I found myself on a very long journey. I had been visiting some remote mountain villages in the far west of the country and had been high in the hills. Now I was in a jeep, being driven down the very narrow mountain roads which often disintegrated into no more than tracks and which were sometimes blocked by rockfalls so the jeep had to drive closer to the edge of the mountain than I would have liked in order to proceed. The journey would take me to Dalghadi in the centre of Nepal from where I was to get a flight back to Kathmandu. But Dalghadi was a nine hour journey away and so I played a variation on the game of I Spy to pass some of the time.

  • In Memoriam: Jennifer Macrae
    The Church Service Society Record IN MEMORIAM: JENNIFER MACRAE Church Service Society AGM 2018 Our much loved and valued member, Jennifer Macrae, died on Friday 2nd March at St Columba’s hospice in Edinburgh following a courageous battle with cancer. Many of you knew Jennifer for a long time; some of you from before she was part of the Church Service Society, of which she was treasurer for a number of years until she began to pass the baton to Iain at the beginning of this year. Some will have known Jennifer in “life before ministry,” maybe as a primary school teacher, maybe as a mum to Elaine and Laura, and wife to Stewart. Maybe as a member of the congregation at Jordanhill Parish Church in Glasgow. Maybe as a probationer at Wellington Church with Leith Fisher as her supervisor. As an assistant at Netherlee, or as the Minister at Kelvinside Hillhead. Jennifer was known and loved by lots of people in lots of places, and that was really evident in the huge crowd that packed out the service of thanksgiving for her life on 10th March. I only knew Jennifer for a short time, but had the great good fortune to be her probationer at Haddington St Mary’s. For the first six months of my time there, I learned so much from seeing Jennifer’s ministry in action, and hearing from people in the congregation and parish about the impact that she had on their lives. In Haddington, Jennifer had the happiest and most rewarding phase of her time as a minister.

  • The Lifter Controversy
    The Lifler Controversy 9 The Lifter Controversy. ONE of the most interesting disputes which disturbed any section 0f the Church in Scotland was that known as the " Lifter " controversy, which for some years agitated the Anti-Burgher section of the Secession Church, and which indeed led to another split therein. The Book of Common Order (John Knox's Liturgy) indicates that at the Communion service the minister is to " take the bread " before he offers the Prayer of Thanks- giving and Consecration. This action is not mentioned in the Direclory for Public Worship ; nor can it be said that it is explicit either in Henderson's or in Calderwood's account of the celebration of the Sacrament.' But there can be no doubt that it was widely, if not universally, practised in Scotland ; and in time it was regarded as being of great significance. Boston2 of Ettrick, for example, writes that " nothing is more distinctly mentioned than this " (the act of " taking " the elements) .3 In some places it was the custom of the minister simply to lift the plate with the bread, and the cup with the wine, before offering the consecration prayer ; but in others, he held a portion of the bread in his hands during the whole of the prayer. This was the custom of Dr Webster4 of the Tolbooth Church, Edinburgh, the leader of the Evangelical party in the city in the 18th century. In the funeral sermon preached after his death we find : " Follow him next to the Communion Table holding in his hands the sacramental pledges of the broken Body and shed Blood of the Redeemer,5 and by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, setting them apart from a common to a sacred use." McMillan.
